Additional to other ideas so far, You could also make a chroot, install normal bins from src, install all your ports, ^D to exit chroot, then do a compare & strip with eg: cd chroot ; find . -type f -exec cmpd -d {} / \; # compare & delete http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/cmpd/ find . -type l | xargs rm find . -type d -depth -exec rmdir {} \; find . -type f -print | sort | more then consider what got trashed, where, & maybe why, & then reinstall from ports, or crudely cd /chroot/var/db/pkg ; tar cf - */+CONTENTS| (cd /var/db/pkg && tar xf -) PS I find /usr/ports/textproc/mgdiff nice for a visual diff of 2 files. ( if theres lots of small changes in a file ) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, like a play script.
